THE ORE i SENTINEL JACITBOBlItlEi "Wednesday, : : : August 7,-1878 The Sentinel. An improvement in this paper will soon be made, and in order to carry this ont, a certain amount of bulIiouwill.be necessarj to pur chase the outfit. Only about six months has expired since wo took charge of the paper, therefore we can not request payment on sub scriptions, as newspaper patrons generally wait until the expiration of the year before considering it due. -To a great number, however, it is immaterial when they pay, and to those we would say that at this time it would prove very acs ceptable. Wo intend purchasing a new dress throughout, and will then also enlarge it to a twenty-eight column paper. "Wo have also dc cided on reducing the subscription price,aud from this date, if paid for in advance, it will only be 2 50 per year. Those not paying until the end jof the year will be charged the old price 3 00. It shall al ways bo our endeavor to make the Sentinel a first-cjass local paper, and we hope our patrons will assist us in making the contemplated im provements by coming forward at once and settling up. Imperfect Uonutiou Claims The Eoseburg Independent pub lishes the following list of Donation claims, situated in this and Jo sephine counties, to which titles have not yet been perfected: Claiborn Neil, John Penninger, J. W. Simpson of Jackson county. James Lytle, of Josephine coun- ty. In many of the above cases im portant proofs are wanting relative to the donation settlers' residence on the land, date of marriage, nat uralization, &c. As eachyear pass es the required proof becomes more difficult to obtain, as many of the early settlers have died and others have removed from tho county-and" State. A largfi majority of these ciarms-Ojivecmingea ownorsnip mia many of the present claimants are not aware that their title to tho land is not perfect. All information required and blanks needed to perfect proof will be furnished by the Register and Receiver at Iioseburg on applica tion. Medical College. From a circular just received we learn that the Medical Department of the Willamette University has been removed from Salem to Port land, where excellent facilities will be afforded studefs for chemical instruction at tho CoiSiJispensa ry, the several hospital f tho city and county, and the Insane A-y-lum. The thirteenth regular course of lectures will begin on Monday evening, Dec. 1C, 1878. Tho facul ty is uow made up of fourteen of the best physicians in the State. Address all letters to Dr. 0. I S. Plummer, Portlaud, who is Dean of the faculty. o 'The Mississippi plan of collecting taxes on drinks differs from the Moffett system. Books of coupons are sold by the State Auditor to all si! quor dealers. When a drink is .sold, tho consumer receives a coup on, which entitles him to receive from the state, in payment of his taxes, one cent. If two drinks are to bo paid for, he receives an-orange-colored coupon good for two cents. If five drinks, a blue paper good for five cents. Not only does the state enjoy an income from the tax on drinks, but the consumer .has a reasonable chance of paying off taxes with coupons. On tho 5th of last June, Thos. S. Sherman, son ol the General, sail ed for England to complete his ar rangements for entering the priest hood of the Catholic Church. His father is not a Catholic and had -educated his eon with the intention of his becoming a. lawyer. He was a graduate of Yale, also of.Qeorge towu College and the St Louis law school. ocuiz" JLand. Decision. The Secretary of the Interior has at last decided in favor of the right of settlers to pre-empt lands within the a ay grants after the roads for which such grants were made shall have been three years competed. Tho pre-emption price is 1 25 an aero. And now, says the S. F. Chronicle, shall come con fusion worse confounded, andliti a tion without end.. Tho first point which the railway companies will dispute, is the time when their roads were completed. They say some time; the law and the Comis- ionera on the, part ot the Govern ment, appointed to receive the roads, say another and an earlier time. In California the Central Pacific, for itself, and tho Western Pacific and the California and Ore gon branch, will set up that they have sold all their land-grants in bulk to an association of their own creation, representing nobody but themselves. The legality of this new finauce and contract dodge will have to be tested ,in all tho Courts up to the Supreme Court of tho United States, and the "whole power of the railway company will be brought into play to defeat the right ofany settler who may have the impudence to sot up a preemp tion claim to any part of the for feited grant. This will require years of litigation. In the mean time several millions of acres of tho best agricultural lands will re main uncultivated, and measurably untaxed, and the settlement, im provement and productive industry ot the Stite must languish. If the Supreme Court shall decide that the 6ale in bulk by tho railway com pany to the railway company's land company was a fraud, and not a benafide transaction,, then all the purchases from said fraudulent land company will be null and void, and every purchaser will have his action against the laud company for the money paid, with interest. We can imagine that a suit of this kind would produce quite a bicker be tween the members of tho railway company and the members of the land company, and bring to light some of the moat startling attempt to swindle both the Government aud the innocent purchasers of the land, ever heard of in this or any other country. The New York Journal of Com merce mentions, as a curious evi dence ot the new combinations which may crop up in politics, that the Convention of the National La bor Greenback part lately in ses sion in New York State has ap pointed a Committee to confer with the New York Chamber ot Com merce with a view to obtainiug the support of that influential body for the State ticket which the Labor Greenbackers intend to put in the field at the next election. Ihe Chamber, instead of repelling the advances made, seems inclined to listen with attentive ear, and, m its bitter disgust at the failure both of the Republican and Democratic parties to give an honest Govern ment, to rather welcome the over tures of the new organization. Walla Walla Union: If wo add to Washington the three counties in Northern Idaho it will very ma terially increase the chances of the admission into the Union of the state of Washington, with two sen ators and a voting member of con gress to assist Oregon in demand ing the opening of the Columbia, the improvement of Suake river, the building of a railroad from the Columbia through Idaho to the Central Pacific, and 'the general promotion of-the iuterests, the pros perity, the progress of the Pacific Northwest Then instead of send ing two delegates to beg congress for everything wo need, wo will be in a position to demand our rights and enforce the demand. Pr. J. W. Watts has associated himself with W. H Odell in tho publication of the Salem Daily Statesman, It is one of the best pa pers in tho State and we wish the new proprietors success.

The most worthy 01 mention at mis time is perhaps that of Haw kett&Co., at the old Taylor dierinzs. on Rogue River.

If vour are troubled with nervousness are disheartened, tired of life, fear death or feel out of sorts as the saying Is, you may safely con clude that you have the Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint. The liver is very apt to become torpid this season of the year as poions arising from stagnant water or decaying vegetatijn are more numerous and are through inhalation taken into the blood Unless the liver is strong and active, and furnishes a supply of fresh and pure blood to drive out the impurities, the above mentioned symptoms surely follow, and if not heeded, end in more terrible diseases nnrf death.
